Chapter 579: Final Chapter
There were 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers stationed in the entire outer city of Yijing, and in the end, only Zou Dan led a few people to resist the Zhao army, and finally died bravely.
Yi Jing was sacrificed, the height was close to four zhang, and the inner city of Yi Jing, which could compete for the first fortified city in the world, was not guarded for long.
When the so-called cronies in the inner city saw their families being escorted over, someone soon surrendered to the city.
There are more than 20,000 in the entire inner city, and only Guan Jing led a few family members to fight with the Zhao army, and then became righteous, which can be regarded as paying for his mistakes.
Gongsun Chan himself was not killed as rumored, he was still drunk and dreaming and drinking when the outer city was broken, and he was still sleeping with a beauty when the inner city was broken, and in the end, a fire burned the beauty and the wine along with himself.
Gongsun Chan was wiped out by the Zhao army.
There was also news in the Central Plains that the Qi army took advantage of the absence of the main force of the Zhao army and exhausted the army to break through the small warlords of the Central Plains who were subordinate to the Zhao army, Zhang Miao-Chen Gong, Kong Rong, Qiao Mao, etc. one by one.
Even Chen Gong couldn't resist the simultaneous attack of the Qi army, which was dozens of times his size, not to mention that this time it was the quasi-top military general Ji Ling who led the troops, and the quasi-top mastermind Yan Xiang.
Zhang Miao, Chen Gong, Kong Rong, and Qiao Mao did not end up dying, but were packaged and sold to the Chu army, these small warlords, especially Chen Gong, the Chu army offered extremely high prices.
Chen Gong alone has enough armor to arm tens of thousands of soldiers and a year's worth of military rations.
These people were personally received by Cao Xing, whether it was Qiao Mao, who begged for mercy, Kong Rong, Zhang Miao, who pretended to be high and tactful, and Chen Gong, who regarded death as home.
All got a good result, that is, the unification of the feudal country, together with the cronies who are still dead set on them, to the Western Regions and the Desert Four Protectorates.
Cao Xing's answer is that every warlord is a talent, although he is not specialized in a certain item, but for the lord, he has his own set, plus there are some lessons from being destroyed, these people are feudal kings of the country, and it is easier to make achievements than heroes who specialize in a certain item to be feudal monarchs, and it is more conducive to the expansion of the feudal territory of the Han Dynasty.
The generous treatment of the small warlords gave the only two small warlords left in the original land of the Han Dynasty a good medicine.
Just when the Zhao army and the Qi army were digesting the newly occupied territory.
In 316 A.D., the small warlord, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian was seriously ill, and before he died, he raised Xuzhou to defect to the Chu army.
Although the real power figures in Xuzhou, Cao Bao and Mi Zhu, both have their hearts set on the Chu army, so that most of Xuzhou has secretly turned to the Chu army, Tao Qian actually only sacrificed half of Xuzhou before he died, and even only the county where the state government he actually controlled.
But Cao Xing still reciprocated the favor, and Tao Qian's eldest son, Tao Shang, took over from Xuzhou Mu.
The potters did not follow, and the above table wanted to take up the feudal state, expand the territory for the Han Dynasty, and go to block the door of Cao Xing every day to ask for each other.
In the end, Cao Xing agreed, the above table of potters for the pavilion marquis, on the state of Xu, in the Indochina Peninsula to establish a state, and stay in Xuzhou for five years, during the five years can recruit the people of Xuzhou to move to the state of Xu, to be Xu people.
Five years later, the pottery merchant went to Xuzhou Mu Zhiyin, and Cao Xing transferred the seal of Xuzhou Thorn History to Tao Qian's second son, Tao He, the brother of the pottery merchant.
In 317 A.D., the 317th year since the establishment of the Han Dynasty by Gaozu Liu Bang, the second year of Tao Qian's death, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan was about to die, paralyzed in bed, and asked the imperial court to send his sons who stayed in Luoyang as Langguan to Chengdu.
Yuan Shao secretly threatened Liu Yan to send troops to attack the Chu army in Guanzhong and Hanzhong, and was finally exposed, Cao Xing was not angry, and sent Liu Yan's youngest son, Liu Zhang, who had been abducted to his side as early as when he was in control of Luoyang, to Chengdu.
In 318 AD, Liu Yan died of illness, and Liu Zhang raised Yizhou, but in fact there were only two counties of Shu County and Ba County, which were dedicated to the Chu army.
Since then, the gate of Yizhou has been opened, and the Chu army has driven straight in, and the remaining counties and county subjects of Yizhou have all fallen into the hands of the Chu army.
The Chu River, that is, the Mekong River in later generations, runs through the southwest of Yizhou and the Indochina Peninsula, and a large number of Yizhou people are enshrined in the country with the title of Pavilion Marquis, and Liu Zhang, who built the country of Ba in the middle reaches of the Chu River, went south to seal the country.
At the same time, Liu Zhang stayed in Yizhou for five years.
Five years later, Liu Zhang's eldest son Liu Xun succeeded to the Yizhou Assassin History, Liu Xun's ability far surpassed Liu Zhang, and got the up-and-coming Fa Zheng, Zhang Song's affinity, the three rising stars in Yizhou to show their strength, the Nanban and the Qiang people in the west are all packed up.
The territory of Yizhou was pushed directly to the foot of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, that is, the Kham region in later generations was included in Yizhou's rule.
In 318 AD, after Liu Zhang sacrificed Yizhou, there were only three families left in the world, that is, two Yuan and one Cao.
Zhao Zhi and Yuan Shao are the weakest, and they control the Son of Heaven, but they are often attacked by Qi Chu in turn, and they do not invade after each attack on Zhao Di, and they leave after plundering the population.
Whether it is the Chu army or the Qi army, it is just that the means are different in terms of softness and hardness.
A few years later, the original most prosperous Sili - Luoyang, Hongnong, Hedong, Hanoi, Jizhou, and Youzhou, which slowly became prosperous, plus a merger state - Shangdang.
The territory of these Zhao armies had a total population of more than 10 million during the period of Emperor Ling, and in addition to those who died in the war, there were nearly 10 million people left who had been plundered by Qi Chu for several years.
In 322 A.D., there were no wild people except for the fortified city and the fort of fortification, and the total population was less than one million, ten times less.
The people left behind in the land of the Zhao army no longer have a good impression of the Chu army.
In 325 AD, the land of the Qi army was not much better, the land of the Zhao army could plunder fewer and fewer people and materials, and the once rich land was about to become a primeval forest, and the original cultivated land was overgrown with weeds and trees.
In Zhao Di, the people who did not have the cultivated land around the city wall, in order to live, have become herdsmen and began to live a life of grazing in the wild.
The herdsmen come and go like the wind, and there is a beacon tower to call the police, where can the Qi army rely on looting to maintain expenses, but the expenses are so big, the Qi army is also very preferential to the soldiers, and Yuan Shu is not prepared for disarmament.
In order to subsidize the more than 500,000 Qi troops, Yuan Shu began to order the plundering of the people of Qi under his rule, in exchange for supplies with the Chu army under his rule.
A few years later, in the land of the Qi army, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Sili-Xingyang, Yangzhou-Jiangbei, the population of no less than 18 million during the time of Emperor Ling was sharply reduced to 3 million, and all of them were the families of Qi army officials and military families.
The population sells nothing.
Zhao and Qi survived for nearly ten years, until Yuan Shao died of illness, Yuan Shao's three sons were in civil strife and attacked each other, and Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty successively circulated in the hands of Yuan Shao's three sons, and finally circulated and died, leaving no descendants.
Liu Xie, the only blood relative of Emperor Ling, had been secretly killed by Yuan Shu when the Qi army broke through Chen Liu a few years ago.
Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty before the Ling Emperor had no children, and the Emperor Liu Hong of the chosen clan was the heir, and the young emperor Liu Wei died at the hands of Yuan Shao's son and Liu Xie died at the hands of Yuan Shu, and the emperor's vein of the Han Dynasty was broken again.
At this time, Yuan Shu was not chaotic enough, and while attacking Yuan Shao's three sons, he snatched the jade seal of the country in Yuan Tan's hands, and he couldn't wait to be called the emperor, and the country name was Zhong.
Yuan Shu called the emperor and wantonly killed the Han clan, plus it occupied the entire Central Plains, and it was also the main distribution area of the Han clan.
In 330 AD, Emperor Yuan Shu of the Zhong clan destroyed the genealogy of the Han clan, and the attitude of the Chu army made the Han clan of Chu afraid, and finally changed his surname, and if he did not change his surname, he also denied the identity of his clan, and even Liu Bei took the initiative to clarify that he was not a clan, and the evidence was conclusive.
In 331 AD, Qi forced Chu to surrender, and finally took the initiative to attack, but Chu could not find the north after being beaten.
In 335 AD, Chu destroyed Qi, and Yuan Shu was sent to the country of poison and Tianzhu.
Since 305 A.D., also known as the first year of Zhongping, the world has been in turmoil, and the land of China has experienced 30 years of chaotic war, and it has come to an end.
It is a full sixty-six years shorter than the ninety-six civil wars in history from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the Return of the Three Kingdoms.
The population has changed from ten rooms and nine emptiness in history to an increase instead of decreasing, there is no way, so many women of different races help give birth to Huaxia Erlang.
The first day of the twelfth month of 335 A.D.
Cao Xing ascended the throne as emperor, the country name Huaxia, and continued to use the number of 335 AD.
